I have been wanting to get back to writing missions, so this is highly relevant to my interests. Although, it seems that the only way to copy-paste the text is to right-click and I kinda prefer using ctrl+c and ctrl+v. But that is something I can work around.
As some of you might have noticed, ff.net has recently implemented a feature that prevents copy-pasting text from their stories. As this kinda makes life hard for us, I asked EllipsisFlood for her help, and she came with this nifty piece of code:
javascript:%20(function()%20{$('.nocopy').removeClass('nocopy').parent().css({'-moz-user-select':'auto','-webkit-user-select':'auto','user-select':'auto'})})()
What you need to do to make it work is to bookmark the code (highlighting it and dragging it to the bookmarks menu worked for me), then click on the bookmark, and voilà, you can copy from ff.net again!
The view source tutorial can be found here for copying things without needing a browser add-on.

javascript:%20(function()%20{$('.nocopy').removeClass('nocopy').parent().css({'-moz-user-select':'auto','-webkit-user-select':'auto','user-select':'auto'})})()
how do you get this code to work? I've tried and can't get it working. Another user and I are doing a collab write on ff-net under one account and not being able to copy really makes me mad:
We were only copying and pasting pieces from the story we're working on before this crap was put in.
Thanks! This is really helpful.
This seems much easier. Thanks.

I use quite a few add-ons that require highlighting (Dictionary.com, gTranslate), so this is a godsend!
The Circle uses a different method althogether, so EllipsisFlood's script unfortunately doesn't work for it.
There's a way around it if you are using Firefox, however. It's a plug-in called RightToClick. Once activated, it manages to bypass any kind of copy or right-click block.
Oddly enough, regular copypaste still doesn't work for the circle, but click-and-drag near the first letter of the paragraph after activating the plug-in will result into taking the entire paragraph, thus enabling the possibility of dropping it into your document.
It was probably done as another layer of protection, since text is treated as several single elements instead of... well, text and so it can't be highlighted. Lemming programming at its finest?
I'd actually already installed RightToClick for no reason.
Now I have a reason to keep it...
I installed Righttoclick and tried it out on Quotev. I was unable to obtain the text. So then I tried to obtain the text from a different site and it worked.
Either the Circle has outsmarted us or there are some settings I need to enable/disable.
RightToClick needs to be manually activated.
